It's been planned for a long time for Patrick to focus on site performance as his next step after his role on the mobile team. On the mobile team, he was responsible for building out the initial MobileFrontend extension, and has been the team's tech lead since then, succeeded in this role by Brion Vibber. I've decided to also designate Patrick as Senior Technical Advisor. Patrick has been invaluable in the last few weeks in supporting hiring processes, cross-team coordination, and technical evaluations. I will continue to rely on Patrick's expertise and network to support technical coordination across the department. This is one of the near term improvements to increase my bandwidth and capacity as well. Patrick will report to me. For performance and architecture projects, he'll work directly with engineers working in those areas (Tim, Asher, Aaron, Ori, etc.). I've posted the job description for this role here for reference: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings/Site_Performance_Engineer… Please join me in congratulating Patrick.
